It works pretty well for me but I separate anime and TV/movies, and make sure the anime library is only scraping data from anime-centric databases. But I'm also not watching too much new or obscure stuff.
Bandcamp only works if the band originated there. Most labels don't sell anything through bandcamp. If a label doesn't release digital lossless for me to buy it's getting downloaded on Soulseek.
Of course it's real. This is maybe one of the least shocking beliefs from a webcomic like xkcd ever. Like 1/5 of all the comics are about hacker culture or Linux.
I understand but he is the unofficial president of one of the most powerful nations in the world. It is going to continue like this until he is brought out of power through one way or another.
It's trivial to reorganize your collection (see Strawberry Music Player if you think it's not) but when it comes to slsk you see the files, filenames, directory structure, bitrate, and bit depth without downloading. I check all the FLAC albums I download and I haven't seen a fake one yet. I never download lossy files because I can create a perfect transcode from lossless anyways, and I'm probably transcoding to opus which seemingly nobody else does.
You have to realize that in 2025 we're all ripping them from Deezer or something where you always get basic tags and proper lossless. I've never used a private tracker and never will because slsk gives just as high quality and has less condescending pricks.
Rust is already as fast as C and memory safe. The reasons people don't want it in the kernel basically amount to being a boomer that doesn't like new things for immaterial reasons. Rust has already proven itself capable in mission-critical applications like drivers.
Linux has support for almost any architecture you can think of. Remember, free software can be compiled from source, which makes it comparatively easy to port to different architectures.
Because it's not free software. It's proprietary, so you're still putting everything into the hands of some random corporation. Software freedom is important, and important to this community specifically.
